I’ve attached some images—can anyone please guide me on why custom data is not showing up in the Print Designer?

feat: add custom data using jinja Reason for adding this feature: - to allow u…sers to add custom data to the template using jinja - It is not ideal to fetch data for every field in the template when it is shared at template level - This feature allows users to add custom data at the template level using jinja How to use this feature: - Add custom template by clicking `Manage Custom Data` using print_designer - on the last line make dictionary of data you want to send to template - make sure to use `send_to_jinja` variable name. like `{%- set send_to_jinja = {'key_to_access_in_template': 'value'} -%}` Example: Code shared below will make `status` and `custom_var` available in the template ``` {% set status = doc.status %} {% set custom_var = "This is Custom Text Saved in Custom Variable" %} {% set send_to_jinja = {"status": status, "custom_var": custom_var} %} ``` https://github.com/frappe/print_designer/assets/39730881/65c52f05-8c4b-4dc6-b8f1-615695ebfe72 misc: removed pdfjs from print_designer ui as it is no longer used.
